Water Lily
Water Lily (splash) an aquatic plant of the genus Nymphomania which has large, disk-like, floating leaves and showy flowers. There are about 50 species growing in different countries. In Bangladesh there are two species: N. nonchalant (blue variety) and N. pubescent (white variety). This is our beauty and we really proud about this.Both species grow abundantly as a mixed population in almost all shallow natural water bodies, but the latter is more frequent and popular in Bangladesh and has been designated as the national flower.
Water lilies are a well studied clade of plants because their large flowers with multiple unspecialized parts were initially considered to represent the floral pattern of the earliest flowering plants, and later genetic studies confirmed their evolutionary position as basal angiosperms.
It is seen in abundance in the monsoon season. The peduncle is a popular vegetable to villagers; the tuberous rhizomes are also eaten. Seeds on frying are eaten as puffed-grains in some places. The giant water lily or Amazon water lily is occasionally grown in some gardens for its enormous orbicular floating leaves.
